A Health Insurance Company Benefits from Flatworld Solutions' CATI Services - A Success Story

The Customer

Flatworld Solutions carried out a pilot project that involved interviewing 2000 clients of its customer - an established health insurance provider in the State of North Carolina - and 4000 clients of its customer's competitors. The respondents were interviewed to understand their preference for "referral management" with regard to a particular health insurance plan. The survey methodology used by Flatworld was that of a Blind Phone Survey. Some of the challenges that Flatworld came across during the exercise were:

The customer's offerings had to be positioned amidst several other products and services existing in the market.

5 different quotas in different segments, across the 2000 surveys, had to be attained.

The Challenge

The team at Flatworld designed a specific training program and a process, which included a 15 minute survey consisting of 18 questions. Out of the 18 questions, 15 were multiple-choice questions, while the rest were open-ended questions.

The following conditions were adhered to: Respondents could not be employees of a hospital, physician or advertising/marketing firm. This was done to refrain from getting biased results. 15 interviewers executed the survey successfully in a span of 4 weeks.
